Discussion

Apple Intelligence features that use off-device Artificial Intelligence (AI) must be disabled. Use of off-device AI poses a data loss risk.

Check Content

Verify the macOS system is configured to disable Genmoji with the following command:

/usr/bin/osascript -l JavaScript << EOS
$.NSUserDefaults.alloc.initWithSuiteName('com.apple.applicationaccess')\
.objectForKey('allowGenmoji').js
EOS

If the result is not "false", this is a finding.

Fix Text

Configure the macOS system to disable Genmoji by installing the "com.apple.applicationaccess" configuration profile.
